Like many of the swordsman films of the sixties, "The Magnificent Swordsman" centers on the hero vowing vengeance against evil bandits that killed his family when he was a child. Influenced by Akira Kurosawa's "The Seven Samurai", the hero (played by Huang Tsung-Shun, who starred in Bruce Lee's "Fist Of Fury") recruits several friends to help peasants rid their village of marauding bandits, the leader of course being the man that killed his family.
